RECOMMENDATIONS.
Rjid's Dictionary of the English Language is an admirable book foi
the we ©I schools. Its plan combines a greater number of desirable con-
ditions for such a work, than any with which I am acquainted: and it
seems to me \o bo executed in general wiih great judgment, fidelity, and
accuracy

Professor of rhilosophy, History, and Belles Lettres,
In the University of the City of New York.

Phillips Scliool, Boston, May 2, 1845.
I have partially examined the Dictionary which you are publishing,
dnd am much pleased with the plan and execution of the work, so far as
I have been able to peruse it. Much matter is condensed into a small
compass. All words in good use are selected and clearly defined. Each
word is 60 marked as to indicate its pronunciation, and the value of tho
work is much enhanced by containmg the derivation of every word. I
hope it will meet with that share of patronage which it richly deserves.
Samuez. S. Greene,
♦ Master of the Phillips School
Boylston School, May 2, 1845.
I fully concur in the opinions expiessed by Mr. Green, and should b«
wuch pleased by the introduction of the Dictionary into ourpuUic schools

X exammed Se.d'. Dictionary of the English Language when it fi«
came out, with considerable care ; and. as far as I am capable of forming
an opmion. I look upon the plan of this work to be very judicious, and 'Z
execution remarkably accurate. I trua that its republication hero will
promote an object in itself confeswdly desirable, but heretofore too little
attended to. nameIy.-uniformity. both in the use and the pronunciation
of words, amongst all who .peak the English language. In furtherance
of this design, I think it a happy circumstanee that the Meesm. Appleton
are enabled to offer to the American public, editions from the identical
rtereotype plates from which the English edition was prmted ; ina-much
as the value of such a work, so far as pronunciation is concenied, must
depend upon the accuracy with which the minute points of its typography
have been executed. /i~s 1- *y

Reids English Dictionary contains-firet, a Dictionary of 40 000
words, arranged alphabetically under their roots, and defined more accu-
rately than IS usual m abridgments; second, a vocabulary of 3,000 foi-
eign roots of the English language, with examples of derivatives under
each ; thu-d, an accented list of 15,000 Latin, Greek, and Scripture proper
names. ^ i'»"i«'«
After a careful examination, I am convinced that the work has stronc
claims npon the attention of teachers generally. It is of convenient size,
beautifully executed, and seems well adapted to the use of scholars, from
the common schocj to the university.

Reids Dictionary of the English Language appear to have been com-
pUed upon sotind principles, and with judgment and accuracy. It ha.
the ment, too, of combining much more than is usually looked for in Dic-
tionaries of small s;ze, and will, I believe, be found excellent as a conve-
nient manual for general use and reference, and also for various purpose.

rNTRODUCTION TO THE
of neceHBily. a causo of l.aaty. loose, and wrongful use of worcli-Uie
neglect of good old onoB. and the raal. adoj.tion of spurioun now o,.e»
Excellent words and excellent idioms are over in dungo. of pcrishii,.
ho tongues and the pe,»s of men are often losing them, either by igno-
anco-perhaps ignorance in one of its most troublesome shapes-that of
J^uiry, or ,t may be by licentiousness. There is this reason too for
our usmg words with more reflection and less at random, that wo may
be able to discern whether or no there is error in the Americanisms wo
are mefmea charged with. It is justly a term of reproach, like the
bcotticmm. or Galhc^m. or British provincialism, if wo use a word
^^h « an unauthorized and needless novelty; but the reproach is re-
oeJed when we can show 4h«t a good word of other and older days hw
ZonTh Ir 'T' f""^'' '' '" ^"^'^ ^"^y ^-- '^- --ths of
men on the other s.da of the sea. In the changes that a language under-
goes, there is no more delicate process than that by which it is enriched
and improved, and none more subtle than its corruption and degeneracy
But let it not bo thought that the dutiful safe-keeping and cultivation
of one s language is merely matter of critical interest. There are highei
considerations that enter into it. " Many years ago," says Coleridge,
in convemng with a friend, I expressed my belief, that in no instance
had the false use of a word become current without some practical ill
consequence, of far greater moment than would prima aspectu hav«
been thought possible. That friend, very lately referring to this remark,
assured me that not a month had passed since then, without some in-
stance m proof of its truth having occurred in his own experience : anc
added, with a smile, that he had more than once amused himself with
the thought of a verbarian attorney-general, authorized to bring infer-
mation ex officio against the writer or editor of any work in extensive
Circulation, who, after due notice issued, should pe;-severe in misusing a
word. (« Church and State," ch. ii. note.) The history of language
would supply not a few examples of this process by which words mislead
our thoughts and give them a wrong practical direction. How much
error, for instance, both in theory and practice, may be traced to the
confusion of the terms education and instruction ! Again, for the per-
ception of the beautiful we have the term taste, a metaphor takan from
that which is passive in the body, and transferred to that which is
active mthe mind; and it is reasonable to believe that the art of criti-
cism has been lowered and narrowed by the utter inadequacy of the
term to express the co-operating power which is demanded for the en.
loymont of poetry and the fmo-urts. A more poj.ular example of tiii.

INTRODUCTION TO THE
i^eptablo ^ a v.c.oua King and Court and almost tokens of a spurion,
loyalty, were m close companionship. The stately and pedantic style ol
a former generation, over-abounding iu Latinized and leam.d words
gave plaoe to a free and easy f^hion of writing and speakin^. which'
.fa consequence of loose living, served also to increase^and ::c^^^:
It. It was the period of .or language when not only colloquial idioms
and expressions were greutly m favour, but also that coarseness and vul-
ganty which can be described only by a term provided by the vocaba-
^ of those t.mes-sZa„g^; a corrupt dialect which Dryden could not
withsuuxd, and which in «,n.e degree vitiated pulpit eToquence-now
»h T^ """"l ^^""^ "' ^^''''' ^''"^' ^' ^^''fi^'d the reflection,
which have been quoted above, as uttered by Milton, years before in his
early manhood,and it may be added, that amid the general corruption.
LcalTT "' f ''°^"'^^' '^' ^'™"' ^^°-' P-— d his purity!
because though ,n the age, he was not of it-because in truth his «so^
was like a Stai> and dwelt apart."
It will be seen in the statement given by the Compiler of this Die
Uonary m his Preface, of 'he several rules which he prescribed forll
execution o the work, that in them he recognizes the pLciole of genen^
and authontative ,.age-in the choice of words and in the^rtho^ary
and pronunciation of them. This is indeed the true and only saffS
.jp^, while there may, to be sure, b. e..br..ussment in the apph^
*f It, from the difficulty of ascertaining such usage. Bui it is important
^unde^tand that even when ascertained, it is'not the Jd "n ut
var^nng standard which many expect to find it, and others hope to mako
t. It IS not, and camrot be so in a living language. Th.ro ^i, a pre-
rous truth .n this metaphor of life, as applied to speech: thL Ta
nealthy, vital action going on, which is as far removed from the feeble
pro ongation of anUouated words as from the rash introduction of those
that are needless as well as new. There is perpetual birth and deaTl
among words: som. fall into disuse, are forgotten and die ; while others
are happily created, and grow up in the language. We may speak o7
general and authorized usage in our day, and m'ost impoZtt
find and recognize it, but what is the nature of such usage may best be
learnt from the history cf iho language.

INTRODUCTION TO THE
M.Ilou'8 authority, too. has lost ks familiarity to tlie modcnx ear-the
verb ' to trorsen :' wo have our Latia-Engli^h counterparts, • to ameliorate^
and to deteriorate,' and tho language ought not to bo empoverished
oy the loss of tho Saxon-English counterparts,-Wo ic«cr' and 'to
worsen.'
These last examples suggest one other matter, which I wish to ask the
rtudents attention to. and for the examination of which such a manual
dictionary affords ready facilities. The etymological part of the work ap-
pears to have been prepared with much pains and accuracy, and serves
to show the various elements of our composite language. To an accurate
knowledge and command of the language, there is. perhaps, nothing more
important than to learn the relative character and various uses of the two
great elementary parts of the language-the Saxon-English, and the
Latm or French-English, but not for the purpose of setting them in any
thmg like hostility to each other, which would be like attempting to kindle
agam the ancient feud-eight hundred years ago-between Saxon and
Norman. Our language is made up by the combined and harmoniou»
ex^tence of these elements ; ;each has its use and value, and the language
suffers when their just proportions are disturbed. Simple idiomatic Eng-
lish was in danger when Johnson was inundating literature with unwieldy
words-when the Preface to his Dictionary, (in 1765.) contained such a
paragraph as this :
_ u K;nired senses may be so interwoven, that the pt ploxity cannoi
be disentangled, nor any reason be assigned why one shomd be ranged
before the other. When the radical idea branehes out into parallel
-amificaiwns, how can a consecutive series be formed of senses in theii
nature collateral ? The shades of meaning sometimes pass Imperceptible
mto each other; so that though on one side they apparently differ, yet it
IS impossible to mark the point of contact. Ideas of the same race
Ihough not exactly alike, are sometimes so little different, that no word-'
can express the dissimilitude, though the mind easily perceives it, when
they are exhibited together ; and somethnes there is such a confusion or
acceptations, that discernment is wearied, and distinction puzzled, and
perseverance herself hurries to an end, by crowding together what she
cannot separate."
It became the plain and chief duty of writer to bring back the Ian
guage to more simple and genuine English-a pure and true style-,
healthy, hearty, vigorous speech. But the reaction from the dialect of
Dr. Johnson and his imitators, seems sometimes to carry criticism away
mto an opposite extreme, and then comes the contrary danger of ^

l)y sufficient aaUiority ; to the third, because they are not used in
general speech or writing ; and to the fourth, because they do not
differ in derivation, meaning, or pronunciation, from the words from
which they are formed. After aU these deductions and omissions^
there still remain nearly forty thousand words, which are contained
in tlie present Work, and for which quoted authority will be found
in the larger Dictionaries,
In the spelling of words, the Compiler hac taken as hia guide the
prevailing usage of the principal lexicographers. A more' uniform
system might have been introduced by adopting certain general rules,
according to which particular classes of words might have been
spelled. But every such rule would have led to greater changes in
the usual practice than the CompUer felt himself authorized to make.
Instead of aiming at uniformity, therefore, he has preferred that
mode of spelling each word wliich he found to be supported by the
greatest number of authorities.
He has pursued a similar plan in the pronunciation of words.
Generally, the system of Walke. l^as been adopted, as being most in
accordance with the usage of the * iucated portion of society; but
the CompUer has not hesitated to depart from it, whenever he found
it at variance either with the majority of authorities, or with general
practice.
In the mode of indicatmg pronunciation, however, the present
Work diflFers, in various respects, from that of Walker. In the first
place, marks have been preferred to figures, as being equaUy precise
and less perplexing. In the second place, the pronunciation is in-
dicated only by the marks and the ordinary sounds of the letters, no
attempt being made to render the pronunciation more plain by a
different mode of spellkg; except in peculiar words, and in sucli aa
are pronounced in two different ways, one of which ways is generally
indicated by marks, ^nd the other by spelling the word as it is pro-
nounced. In the third place, marks are placed only above the vowels
in syllables which have the primary or secondary accent, most of the
others being pronounced o obscurely that the sound cannot be
exactly indicated. At the foot of each page is a key to the notation,
and appended to this Preface is a table of the sounds indicated by
marks, or by syUabication ; by the help of which there will be no
difficulty in ascertaining, with all necessary precision, the pronuncia-
tion of 01 ery word.
PREFACE. g
Tho most satisfactory way of giving the derivation ot words wouW.
have been to have taken the most remote root, and traced it, through
all Its changes, into English. But tliis was not practicable in a work
of limited extent like the present ; and, for want of space, the Com-
piler was forced to adopt a mode of derivation which, while it is
sufficient to show the origin of words, at the same time saves all
avoidable repetition, both of the roots and of their signification
Instead of giving its root after each English word, he has collected
mto fomilies or groups all words which are derived from the same
wot and which begm with the same syllable and have affinity in
signification as well as in etymology, placing first, in large letters,
^'hat may be c^ed the head of the family or group, and arranging
under it, m smaUer type, the other derivatives, ia alphabetical order
In hke manner, instead of explaining each root as it occurs in the
body of the Work, h. has coUected the principal roots into a Voca-
bulary, m which he has given their signification, and, as examples
of their derivatives, the head or first word of every group in the
Dictionary. These arrangements are attended by several disadvan-
tagcs :-occasionally there is a slight departure from the strict alpha-
bctical order of the words ; sometimes the most remote root is given
without the intermediate derivatives through which the word passea
into English ; and frequently it may be necessary to consult the
Dictiorary for the English word, and the Vocabulary for the meanin-
of Its root. But, on the other hand, the Compiler did not see how
he could, m any other way, comprise the explanation and derivation
of what may be termed the classical words of the English language
within the limits of a school-book ; the absence of its signification
after cacn root will not be felt as an inconvenience by those who are
acquamted with the learned languages, or have made some progress
m the study of etymology ; and, when the Work is used as a text-
book for teacliing derivation, a most useful exercise for advanced
pupils will be to make them find out the intermediate derivatives
through which any foreign word, whether ancient or modern, has'
been transferred into the English language. In this exercise, as well
as m the study of etymology generally, considerable help will bo
obtained from one of the annexed tables, in which are detailed the
prmcipal changes which letters undergo in derivation.
On this division of the Work, it may be recessary to explain, that
waea an Euglisli word is, in form and signification, the same aa it»

root, the latter is not printed, but only the language to which ii
belongs IS indicated ; that, when the root is thus of the same fcrm as
the English derivative, and also when the form is different, but tlic sig-
nification the same, the root has not been inserted in the Vocabulary
that roots are not placed after words for which no probable derivation
has been assigned ; that all doubtful roots are denoted by a point of
interrogation ; that a few Latin words not purely classical, and some
obsolete French words, will be found among the roots; that the
roots m the Dictionary, and the radical parts of the words in the
Vocabulary, are printed in italics ; that, in Greek words, the grave
accent on e final (^) indicates that it is not silent, as in English • that
m the Vocabulary, r, and « are generally represented by e and o'; and
that the quantity has been marked in all Greek and Latm words in
which errors in pronunciation were likely to occur.
The most phUosophical mode of explaining words would have been
to have given first their primary signification, as indicated by their
denvation, and afterwardo, in the order of their connexion with it,
all their secondary meanings. But in this, as in derivation, the
Compiler has been restricted by want of room ; and he has been
under the necessity of confining himself to those accepfcxtions which
words most commonly bear in speech and writing. It thus not
unfrequently happens, that the primary meanings of words have been
omitted, because they are not m use, and that secondary meanings
are attached to them, which appear to have no connexion with their
derivation. Such explanations and definitions as he has given, how-
ever, the Compiler has endeavoured to make as perspicuous, and, at
tlie same time, as concise as possible ; and he trusts that they will
be found sufficient to convey the ordmary acceptations of all the
authorized words in the English language.
To make the Dictionary more complete as a school-book, the Com-
piler has added a copious list of Greek, Latm, and Scripture Proper
Names. As in the first part of the Work, the vowels are marked as
tJiey ought to be pronounced, in syllables having the primary or
secondary accent : they are also marked in some of the terminations
which are liable to be mispronounced. To save the trouble of consultm-
two lists, the Greek, Latin, and Scripture Proper Names have been
printed together. When a Proper Name occurs both in the Classical
writers and in Scripture, but is differently accented, each mode of
pronunciation is indicated ; and when there are two wajs of spelling
